    New sonic, questions for current owners and mechs

    Sadl sadly, this site is dying a quick death, and its mostly filled with spam from China and the middle east. So I just keep it around in case someone is still alive in the water, and is looking to be rescued

    A question: what success did you have fixing and replacing the plastic parts that G.M to make the Sonic a reliable car?

    My question to those who have smartly fixed some of the things like the cooling system, and other issues is. Did you have success for the most part making your Sonic a reliable? These cars have either put a few folks in the poor house with multiple trip's to get repaired, or have been mostly a...

    Question about the Mishimoto racing thermostat.

    So, I have been on this great site for a few years, and have learned a lot about our Sonics, the good and the bad. In fact, a lot of that information has given me a few sleepless nights ( LOL ) mostly from the famous coolant issues. So, after some thought, I'm now leaning more towards...

    Rust spot repair

    I have a small rust spot ( see image ) and I would like to tackle that on my own since a few body shops want on an average of 700.00 to repair this.

    Should I keep my Sonic?

    Greetings, I do know about the aluminum thermostat that they sell, so I would get that and also change out all the coolant hoses with oem ones. And I know about the aluminum overflow to replace the plastic one, I would like to keep the radiator and fan for now without changing them just yet. I...

    If you do need a thermostat, I would strongly recommend getting a metal one.
